People at Falrno outh. --4

LONDON, Aug. 24.-The City of Mon
treals missing boat has been picked up, and
the seven passengers and six members of
the crew who were in it are safe and we'll
The rescue was made by German vessel
Mathilde, which arrived at Falmouth
to-day with the thirteen survivors on
board
The boat was rescued on Aug. Is. The
survivors say that on the first day after
leaving the steamer they experienced very
rough weather They had plentiful sup
ply of bread and meat, but very little
water As a consequence they suffered
badly from thirst. The weather was hot,
and this greatly contributed to their dis
comfort. When rescued they were in lati-
tude 40 81" north and longitude 40' 90 west.
PASSED BY STEAMER.
The rescued men say that when their boat
left the burning steamer there were fifteen
persons on board. Finding it too crowded,
two persons jumped aboard another boat
There was only half a keg of water in the
boat, and that was bad. There was no sail
aboard and no means for signaling
passing vessels The boat was nearly
swamped twice, and the men had a hard
struggle to keep her afloat by bailing. On
Thursday they sighted steamer and pulled
toward her, signaling with jackets and
handkerchiefs, but the steamer passed on
without seeing them. Friday they sighted
another vessel and pulled toward it and
found that it was the City of Montreal still
burning. They tried to board her to obtain
more water, but her plates were too hot
They drifted until Monday, when they were
rescued by the Mathilde. They laud the
kindness of the Mathilde, captain and crew
